Fungi the Dolphin

This is a crop maze in Dingle, Ireland which celebrates the local hero, Fungi the Dolphin (it’s supposed to be a picture of a dolphin, and the text reads “Fungi 20 years in Dingle”). Apparently, Fungi is a bottlenose dolphin who took up residence in Dingle Harbour in 1984 and has been entertaining locals and tourists ever since. The Do Dingle Website says:

He is a curious and friendly animal, and has been photographed bringing gifts to divers of still living fish, clasped gently within his jaws

He is the most wonderful creature. I have seen him dozens of times, been soaked to the skin by him. Look him in the eye and you are in love with him and he loves you back, getting into your heart. You will want to go back to Dingle to visit the bit of yourself you left behind. 2008 is his 25th year in the bay and may he be there for many more years.

the poeple captured him and built gates under water wit some electric shit that dolphons wont go near thats why he tere so long hes caved in and they have also replaced him once or twice because they hit him wit a boat by mistake

Kenneth Kenneth, I think you should get a life yourself, for you are talking total nonsense on the net. Fungie is a total free spirit who chose to stay in Dingle since 1983. He is not captured, not held by any fence and he can leave whenever he choses to. He just does not want to because he is in one of the most beautifull spots in this world and he has the best of both worlds. He has dolphinfriends to visit him and he has many friends amongst humans who love and respect him and whose best playmate he is. I am one of his friends and he has many friends who spent a lot of time with him. And it is his choise whether he want to play or not. He has given so much fun to hundreds of thousands of visitors, he has captured the hearts of those who live here and those who chose to live here like me and my huspand. He has changed our lives completely and we are greatful to him.
We have hundreds of photographs and dvd material to prove it, but we don’t have to, cause it is not a questions of proving anything. Fungie is there of his own free will and those who love him don’t need any prove, neither do we need any bullshit from someone like you who had no clue what he is talking about. There is only one Fungie and he is a friend to all of us. And we are all very proud to have him as a friend, all of us here who love him. So go and find yourself another hobby than talking nonsens.

lol your very funny but anyway think about every were you go in dingle theres fungi pubs t shirts toys teddys books evrything ya so wat if one day he died or he fucked off dingle would be noting but another shithole so think about it hes caged in and replaced theres no way a dolphin can live so long in irish sea with all the wind and rain

Kenneth, you really should demonstrate your ignorance somewhere else where they might believe you. Global warming’s been making the entire West Coast of the British Isles a haven for cetaceans of all sorts, I crossed the Shannon on the Tarbert ferry a couple of months back and there were half a dozen bottlenoses around us. That’s almost as many as you find these days in the Gibraltar straits.

Google Street View may be ever-expanding in its reach, but it’s still a long way from covering the entire world. There are numerous services that not only offer their own street-level imagery but have beaten Google to the punch in numerous cities around the globe. That got us wondering just what we’re missing from other sites over here at Google Sightseeing, so join us as we take a two-part tour of street-level imagery in places Street View hasn’t reached yet!

Known as site of one of the most pivotal naval battles in history, today Midway Atoll strikes an odd balance between its military past and its tropical paradise locale. It’s also one of the most remote places ever visited by Google Street View.
